Tips for Today

Happy Summer!

It’s the season of pick-your-own (PYO) fruits, veggies, and flowers. What a wonderful way to get outdoors and enjoy our local farms and orchards! There are opportunities in our area to pick your own strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, and early-season apples (and eventually autumn’s pumpkins). Next, you can enjoy fresh berries on your cereal or ice cream or bake some tasty pies or bread. If you have extra produce, share some with family and friends. You will also be supporting the local economy.

For info on where you can find pick-your-own farms, check out the Grown Connected website here.
